Is this as a good a deal for a newbie as I think it is??

[t4ttyt3ddy]

HI all just looking over some old threads on the forum to build up my knowledge ready for the plunge and came across this link:

http://www.skylinemodels.co.uk/acatalog/Whats_New.html

is the : Blade CX2 / Phoenix Simulator Combo

Listed on there for 199.95 a good deal or would I be better to shop around? Has anybody used this site and are they good??

Newbie here please be gentle with me (You all have been so far!!!)

Only thing is it doesn't say what the TX is, I think the Blade is now shipped with Spektrum 2.4GHz.

I presume the BCX2 comes as the standard box kit with the controller, charger & batt included, if so this would be a good deal, the Blades TX will work with the phoenix sim cable straight off, but I'd give them a call just to be sure it is the complete blade CX2 outfit.

Personally I can't see them just selling the heli on it's own, as they claim to offer you everything your need to start off with.

Price is £120 and comes with Spektrum 5 Channel Tx.

p.s. BobJ,
If you can get your web person to remove the acatalog folder on your website, and then rewrite the 404 error page so that it automatically redirects all web traffic (arriving at non-existant web pages) back to the homepage, that will catch any visitors to the old website and pop them onto the homepage of the new site

Cheers,

It all depends on carriage, I found when looking for mine that with carriage they nearly all wound up much the same.

[t4ttyt3ddy]

Oh right so it might be the old one not with qa Specktrum TX then?

[robgt]

The link I posted (for the new skyline website) lists the CX2 as coming with the Spektrum Tx...

Cheers,

Don't all the BCX2's come with the 2.4's then? I know mine did, and everywhere I looked was advertising the same model.

[t4ttyt3ddy]

Oh right thats cool then. I might go with these then . It's really hard to resist the temptation to just buy on on the old plastic fantastic!!! trying my hardest to wait for the money to be readily available but that wont be till end of march

I say this with the greatest respect my friend, but my attitude is live life for each day not a few months ahead, treat yourself, buy a couple of spare upper and lower blades,then pay the plastic off later on.

Could land you in some serious debt in a few years, that plan
Some things are worth it, of course

Well quite, indeed I agree mate, and you have to do whats best at the end of the day.

But at least the BCX2 won't break the bank balance once he starts flying her, OK a few blades possibly a shaft or two.

Do keep us posted when you purchase your bird, and happy saving till then mate.
